I met Pat at a book signing I talked to him for quite a while. I told Pat that I was one of the people involved in the Richard Nixon Billy Graham Day celebration in Charlotte NC. He used this event in his book but changed the people to be from South Carolina. Everyone that got arrested was from North Carolina.

I was arrested and the Secret Service took the film from my camera. The S.S. came to a Red Hornets meeting we figured out pretty fast he didn’t belong so we made up a bunch of fake stuff we were going to do. The only real thing was Nancy had a banner wrapped around her waist. None of us got into the Coliseum.
I had two real tickets to get in but I was arrested and taken away. When we went to trial George Daily was our Attorney. He did a good job presenting our case. But the government won. We were just hippies doing the right thing. Some times you can’t do the right thing.
